Weezer have announced a short spring U.S. tour, which includes small clubs and a free show at Universal Studios in Orlando. After this tour, the band will play three more U.S. shows in June. All the dates are below.

Weezer began work on a new album last October with The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek (who is responsible for producing their 1994 “Blue Album” and 2001 “Green Album”). Their last album, Hurley, was released in September 2010 on Epitaph Records.

Im definitely gonna be in Richmond on April 3rd. And Johnny Leal shut the fuck up. We all have different opinions on music and just because you don’t like it doesn’t give you the right to talk shit about my favorite band. Once you write a better record then Pinkerton then by all means shit on it all you want but until then do us all a favor and SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

Blue album and Pinkerton were great albums, then they were just a pretty good band with a great song here and there. This Johnny guy needs to give it a rest. You’ve got your dumb-ass opinion, and you’re not going to convince anyone you’re right and they’re wrong. That’s like trying to convince someone that their favorite food is gross just because you don’t like it.

Band Spotlight

Hailing from Lincoln, UK Nieviem is a newer skate punk band that has been tearing it up for a little over a year. Steadily releasing new songs, live recordings, and EPs, the band continues the trend with their second EP The Hope Is There. The EP is fast and heavy, borrowing from hardcore but still strongly entrenched in 90's skate punk. If that sounds up your alley, then give it a listen here.
